2016?

The Man got his first check of the New Year this morning and --though he is under Obama's magic $250,000/yr-- it certainly was much lighter than normal. He's pulling up old 'stubs' as I type, but he said at first glance his payroll tax and SS tax look to be substantially higher.

*sigh*

I know, I know. Obama will blame the Republicans for not dropping their collective pants and bending over in unison for a fiscal cliff deal.

Hey, just you remember, anything in your pocket is just the Government's money they let you temporarily keep! You are, as the ad said, owned by the Government! We all belong to it! So, just you shut up, stop whining, and be grateful they don't take it all and just send you back what they think you need. That comes later.

I'm voting for the pretty ones from now on. Obama has the cool factor and apparantly that's insurmountable in spite of his utter lack of accomplishments, abilities, and intelligence, so whoever is the best looking Republican is going to get my vote. And yes, I know it doesn't matter anyway, I just hate Democrats.

Fucktard is stupid enough to poke his head in and say something about the Republicans as the democrats again refuse to do anything (other than tax) about the fiscal health of this country. You own it, dems. Even your boot-lickers in the media won't be able to shield you from it.

I'll just say now, I'm not looking forward to my taxes next year. Didn't pay anything this year, because I took a loss last year, and as far as net income, I might have taken less of a loss this year. But still, not looking forward to it, if I had even a skimp of a profit.

I can't believe those morons....but at least my Representative didn't vote for it.

I agree that FICA was not a tax in the normal sense of the word when those funds were kept segregated from general revenues to help preserve the fiction that Social Security was "insurance". That was before before Lyndon Johnson grabbed the "Trust Funds" to help "balance" the regular budget.

Wait a minute. I thought FICA didn't count as a tax, or at least for determining who pays taxes.

It has to be a tax otherwise it would be unconstitutional. What it really is is a forced contribution to the government in exchange for a bankrupt retirement/healthcare program. But just go ahead and try explaining that to the low information voters Obama has wooed with PSY and JayZ and Honey Boo Boo. All they know is that their taxes went up when Obama promised they wouldn't.

Also mighty convenient to blame Obama. Aren't you one that screamed that the fiscal cliff issue adds to the deficit? Take this out of the deal and watch the deficit really soar.

I'm pretty convinced you are one of those uninformed voters that think that we can cut foreign aid to solve our deficit problems. I don't think you have any idea what our government costs, and what we spend it on.

Nope. She said she supported Marack Obama, which, in low-information Democrat speak, is actually Barack Obama. And why shouldn't her family support him?

Aren't you one that screamed that the fiscal cliff issue adds to the deficit?

Of course. But what's the point of raising taxes when the program is insolvent and the Democrats refuse to reform it?

Take this out of the deal and watch the deficit really soar.

Duh. But tell that to the moron Obama voters whose taxes he just raised. They thought the rich could pay for all of it. And didn't you support the initial payroll tax cut? Why? Raising the payroll tax might mean a slightly smaller deficit, but you're still not going to benefit from the programs. They are bankrupt.

I'm pretty convinced you are one of those uninformed voters that think that we can cut foreign aid to solve our deficit problems.

Nope, although I would prefer that not even a penny of our money go to psychotic religious totalitarians. But entitlement spending is what is driving our debt. We have too many old people taking money, not enough young people to steal from, and a bloated, corrupt, wasteful government. Nothing you argue about addresses this simple fact.

I don't think you have any idea what our government costs, and what we spend it on.

Boo Boo, you don't have the intellectual capacity to make that judgment. You haven't made a coherent argument yet. Why did you support Obama's initial payroll tax cut and now defend the tax raise? This doesn't speak to your knowledge of the subject so much as it does a drooling, glassy eyed devotion to Obama no matter how little sense his policies make.
